CiteScore: 2.04ℹ
CiteScore measures the average citations received per document published in this title. CiteScore values are based on citation counts in a given year (e.g. 2015) to documents published in three previous calendar years (e.g. 2012 – 14), divided by the number of documents in these three previous years (e.g. 2012 – 14).

Impact Factor: 2.125ℹImpact Factor:2017: 2.125The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 0.571ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):2017: 0.571SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 0.683ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):2017: 0.683SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.

L. Ghosez

Léon Ghosez was born in Aalst, Belgium, in 1934. He studied at the University of Louvain where he got a PhD in 1958 under the supervision of Prof. G. Smets, His PhD thesis dealt with the kinetics of polymerization and copolymerization of N-vinylurethanes. He then spent 2 years as postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University (Prof. R.B. Woodward) where he studied a new method of N-terminal cleavage of peptides. He also collaborated for with Prof. R. Huisgen at the University of Münich where he discovered the first 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions of ketocarbenes.

He got his “Habilitation” at the age of 32 for his independent work on the stereochemistry of synthesis and rearrangement of halocyclopropanes. In 1969 he became “Professeur Ordinaire” at the University of Louvain where he created the laboratory of organic synthesis. He also hold appointments at the University of Liége ( 1969-1999) and at the Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France (1993-1999). He took an active part in the creation of IECB where he established a research group in 1998. He then became “Emeritus” Professor at the University of Louvain and “Associate Professor” at the University of Bordeaux.. From 2000 to 2010, he shared the directorship of IECB with Dr J.J. Toulmé. In January 2010 he retired from this position and became a visiting scientist in the same Institute.

L. Ghosez has supervised 132 PhD students and 152 postdoctoral associates. He has published more than 200 original papers. His research interests involve the development of new synthetic methods and the total synthesis of biologically active molecules. His scientific contribution has been acknowledged by several international prizes and honours (e.g. Centenary medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Havinga medal.. Medal of French Chemical Society, ). He is an emeritus member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. LG has hold several chairs and visiting professorships all around the world. He was three times holder of the Pacific Coast Lectureship .
